Check again. Mark Lundquist commented on a post I made in which I included
a mail from the Caml list, and that mail thread (the one from the Caml
list) was initiated by a poster who made that comment about C. I wasn't 
referring to Marc Criley, the originator of this thread on c.l.a.

Anyways, this has gone on for way too long. Some people have started
making criticisms of Cyclone based on reading the Cyclone page, and that
is a good thing. It would be more productive to hijack this thread and 
start discussing region based memory management, which has a chance of
getting into Ada, or even pattern matching, which IMO would really be in
the spirit of Ada and would be great in an Ada like language.
